Well, well, well! Congrat- ulations, Bob. In its recent estimate, the cenj sus department puts San An- tonio, Dallas and Fort Worth all ahead of Houston. Wonder what Houston thinks about dropping from third to fourth place? Governor Colquitt has plan- ned to defeat submission, elect Mr. Ferguson Governor, and send himself to the United States Senate in 1916. Pretty big undertakings, all of them. Too big, in fact, for Mr. Colquitt to accomplish. A Mansfield farmer, writ- ing in the Fort Worth Record says that all farmers should join the Farmers Union and urge a twenty-five^per c...

THE TEXAS MESQUITER nj i In : / EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON START OF LAMBS V V.':.V ^ In the Fleece. So much depends upon the start the lamb gets In his first two or three weeks that we are justified In spend- ing as much time as we can possibly spare In looking after the flock during lambing time. If the weather Is cold and raw, the mortality among the lambs Is going to be much greater than It will be if the weather is mild through April. The April lamb has a much better chance to do well than the lamb that U dropped earlier In the season. How- ewer, If they come on a chilly, damp day, It will pay the owner to be near at hand, where he will have a chance to see that the youngster gets his first drink of milk as soon as possible. That will keep the new lamb from chilling, and when he Is once chilled, he Is sometimes pretty hard to get back on his feet. Where the lamb really gets a chil- ling, the best remedy is a bucket or a tnh Slled with water, well warmed, writes Louis Q. Hall of Kansa...

Published Every Friday at Mesquite, Texas Subscription $1.00 Per Year Entered at the postoffice at Mesquite, Texas, as mail matter of the second-class. Friday, May 29, 1914. A SUGGESTION to the media- tors: Fire Huerta and send Teddy to Mexico. The theory of the suspended sentence law is good, but it is beinsc worked to death, espec- ially in this county. The State convention of the posmasters is in session at Aus- tin. The Democratic represen- tation, we are glad to note, is considerably greater than here- tofore. Colonel Roosevelt discovered a pew river in the wildernass of South America, but he has a harder job than that in leading tbe Bull Moose party out of the wilderness, The abuse of the suspended sentence law and of the pardon- ing power of the present Gover- nor, if continued much longer, will help to solve the penitentiary question by depopulating that institution.
